Time to get back to work

My time off from working out will end this morning. It’s funny how the training for events like IM and the like become such love/hate relationships. I can’t stand the amount of time it takes away from my day, but it also has me in the best shape of my life. There is also the additional bonus that I’ve been able to eat whatever I want for the last year because of my calorie burn, and I’m definitely not prepared to give that up. I’m also looking forward to adding back basic weight and strength workouts. Since prepping for IM, I almost completely eliminated weighted workouts in order to shed weight. I’m not necessarily looking to add back that weight, but the strength workouts can certainly help me strengthen my core, back, and legs, all of which are so crucial to these endurance events.

On a separate note, my focus for the next several weeks is to find ways we can scale TriathlonForACure.com’s outreach. I’m sure some of you out there know of ways that I can take a small following of fellow athletes, friends and family, and expand this outreach to a much larger audience. Although my site focuses primarily on the sport of triathlon, I’m hoping to include discussions on topics that would appeal to a broad range of athletes, philanthropists, and others challenged by SMA and the like.

As always, I’m open to your recommendations and assistance.
